L-R Katja Herbers as Kristen Bouchard, Aasif Mandvi as Ben Shakir and Mike Colter as David Acosta appearing in Evil episode 5, season 4, streaming on Paramount+, 2023.

The fourth season of Paramount+’s Evil will premiere in a few weeks, and while it’s a bummer that this will be the series’ final episodes, the trailer released today suggests the show will go out with a bang.

We’ve got witches! Creatures that leave big claw marks on walls! Leland and Kristen (played impeccably by Katja Herbers and Michael Emerson) going at it about the birth of their genetic progeny, who also is apparently the antichrist! Things are getting supernatural and staying on the right side of weird, and I feel good that the show will continue to be scary but also, as Reactor’s Leah Schnelbach notes in their first season review, “surprisingly nuanced and deep.”

New to Evil? Here’s the official synopsis of the show:

Evil is a psychological mystery that examines the origins of evil along the dividing line between science and religion. A skeptical female psychologist joins a priest-in-training and a contractor as they investigate the Church’s backlog of unexplained mysteries, including supposed miracles, demonic possessions and hauntings. Is there a logical explanation, or is something truly supernatural at work?

Herbers plays that “skeptical female psychologist” while Mike Colter plays David Acosta, a priest who has unholy thoughts about Kristen (and a succubus in her image that has camped out in his room). Aasif Mandvi plays the “contractor” Ben Shakir, who rounds out the investigative trio that the Catholic Church hires to investigate spiritual and/or supernatural cases. The supporting cast is also stellar and in addition to Emerson’s Leland includes Kurt Fuller as Dr. Kurt Boggs, Andrea Martin as Sister Andrea, and Christine Lahti as Kristen’s mom (and devil worshipper) Sheryl.

Season Four of Evil premieres on Paramount+ on May 23, 2024, with new episodes released every Thursday until August 22. That’s a lotta Evil! But if you need more/need to catch up, don’t fret: the first three seasons are now available on the streamer.
